Hi There!
Has anyone got any experience with particular cradle/docks from Ebay?
Ideally I think I would like a horizontal dock, but can do portrait.
The "USB-Sync-Cradle-Dock-Charger-Samsung-i9100-Galaxy-S-2" on eBay. (Since I've posted so little, I'm not yet allowed to post links).
I bought one'o these. Don't expect much of it, but I think it'll do what it's supposed to. I just hope there's some anti-slip rubber feet on it, so the phone can be used while mounted. Droidstuff.se (swedish site) has a very nice, special made Android universal dock in black metal (which everybody knows us scandinavians are very good at! ). It's pretty expensive, though, and availability is scarce.
Here is the one I ordered: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170633167683
I still haven't gotten it yet (even though I ordered nearly 2 weeks ago)... I will let you know what I think if / when I get it.
When it arrives, I'd be interested to know whether it looks like it'd work with a case on
ebay dock
I ordered that ebay dock, it came pretty quick, its ok for the money, it doesnt give a snug cutom fit but does just fine, i might actually order a sceond one as you can charge it from your pc/laptop or hook in a wall charger.
It look like theres enough room to work with a case but im not a big fan of cases so im unable to tell.

Thinking of that one, looks pretty good and it also charges a separate battery at the same time, however not in stock yet any thoughts?
I'd really want my device lied horizontally. Comfortable while watching movies But no such a dock in the offing.

1 already bought this one, two days on ebay. I dont like it at all as the phone sites in it almost upright, there isnt enough of an angle on it to use the phone comfortably, the angle is just too steep.
If you don't mind the angle the build quality is good otherwise.
I ordered one of these. Will report back when I get it.

Isn't that the one that doesn't actually charge the phone, though?
It charges a separate battery, lying flat in the base. But the phone simply sits in the base. Seems mad to me.
Edit: Yup, doesn't charge the phone. More pictures here. Removed link as I wasn't sure if linking to a retailer was permitted. Is copying their images ok?
I remember having a very similar dock to that for the M2000 (htc blue angel), battery charged in the back, but you could plug a mini-usb cable in to charge the device as well.....
Thats a big step backwards!

Just bought a similar one, hope it arrives soon to my country. Being used to connect my milestone to a dock is can't of weird now that i have the phone laying alone on the desk.

I'm waiting for the 1st dock. I'd rather get a samsung approved dock plus it looks well built and has line out and usb connection AND works in portrait/landscape.
Also eager about the car dock, until you linked this site I didn't know where to get the official Samsung one, so thanks man.

If you want to see both in action, I found a Danish video from a while back which happens to show the hdmi accessory

Don;t know if those links will work, if not just append watch?v=KTsUgetnGu8 to youtube.com

I got a few of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S2-S-II-I9100-ZENIS-DESKTOP-DOCK-CHARGER-CRADLE-/220883609072?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D270865448058%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5859734319996833550
and they have worked with all my Samsung Android phones WITH "thinner" type cases. When I put the Diztronics case on the GNex it didn't fit by a hair so I took a Dremel tool and ground down the front edge just a little. It looks a LOT worse in the picture (since it is close up and due to the lighting) then it does on my desk but it could also be done a lot neater. I kind of slipped with the Dremel. For the price, these docks can't be beat. They only make them in 1 size yet they advertise them as if they are different (and jack up the prices depending on the phone). There is NO audio or video out, it's simply a charge/sync/nightstand cradle.
Today I broke down and ordered the "RND Power Solutions Deluxe 2nd Battery Charger and Data Sync Cradle" from amazon.com (too new to post a link, just give it a search).
This may be what you are looking for, because it is described as having an insert you can put in/remove depending on the case you are using.
I should have this guy in-hand Friday and I can give you a more detailed review.

Someone just posted a review of the RND Power Solutions dock in this forum.

Looks like his LTE phone with a thin case was a tight fit, so this may not be what you are looking for :-(

Not sure you´r correct, since they are saying in the reviews, that the sparepart charger doesn´t fit their type of battery, but its ment for the GSM version. .
So IMO this one on Amazon is for the GSM-version, but still wil work for the LTE versions phones, but not the spare battery they may want to charge..
That looks to be the same as the KiDiGi one listed on the Mobi site except the Amazon price is a lot less expensive. However on the Mobi site it is listed as a GSM (i9250) version.
I've been tempted as they also have a car dock with the same form factor but I'm really looking for something that looks decent but allows me to leave my Qmadix case on the phone.

Galaxy Nexus-Tapatalk
I finally got the charging dock from 4u-mobi and can confirm that the GSM model with a casemate barely there case will fit..
I also got a s-curve TPU case, that fit this dock as well....
In both combinations you need to take off the insert
what about the clingo desktop stand. i;ve been looking at getting a universal desktop dock so that i can use it with a case and future phones.

I just ended up getting the gogostand and taping it to my desk. Works flawless. Yes it doesnt charge, but I couldnt find anything that I liked without having to remove my case each time. And I wasnt going to do that.
Obviously Samsung is more well known, but has anyone heard of EZOPower. They have the exact Dual Case comp dock, they look almost alike except for labeling. Is it as good
which to go for? it is only 19 compared to $27
Thank YOu

Since all this is is a charging dock, there is little for it be "better" or "worse". Essentially, all it is is a USB cable, with large head. personally i would go for the cheap one. If you were looking at a multimedia dock, it would be different.
personally, i would go for the hyperion one (also on amazon, and I cannot post links, yet because new members aren't allowed to help people directly, so you have to search for it) and save 2 bucks more.
thanks again
I found it. I had a bad experience with the wall chargers from them One didn't work. took awhile to get a refund
It looks ok tho.
1. It looks case compatible, don't you think?
2. The title says GS3, but the description says Galaxy Note. I do think it is for the S3
3. I did find the Kidigi which is more than that, the original Samsung, or the EZOPower, the Deluxe Piano Black Charging Cradle Dual Purpose Case Compatible. I dont know where to get it.
Thank You
I actually like this dock. Would LOVE to hear from anybody who has it if it would fit a thicker case like the Incipio Silicryilc. It's still fairly thin but not quite the skin-like cases that many love.

My thoughts:
1. case compatible? probably not... unless you have a dremel... if you do: yes it is.
2. with that shape, if it works for the note, i BET it works for the S3, as the S3 is thinner... but it might be "floppy"
3. kidigi says that the only US retailer is hypercel, but hypercel's website does not have it listed....

One quick question - the pictures of this with the SGN in semi-horizontal position show the table with the screen upside down. Can you flip the SGN so that the screen is the right way and still be able to get the s-pen out ? Sorry - stupid question, I know, but I think this is exactly the case I'm looking for. I need something that can be (almost) horizontal and still be able to plug the charger in at the bottom.
Thanks !

The orientation is with the bottom of the tablet to the hinge of the case. As far as charging. No problem with case open. With case closed Ive taken a scalpel and cut a small slit to allow the power connector access. No biggie.

Thanks, bocosrs. Sorry to be a dummy, but does that mean that, if you have it lying semi-flat, the screen and whole tablet is upside down with the power connector at the 'top'? I really like this case, but have my sgn on my desk charging all day and want it lying flatish. It's not much good if that means it has to be upside down.
Good idea about the scalpel, btw.
Thanks again.

Only if you have the "smart cover" folded like shown in the picture. Otherwise just open like a book and lie flat. Also dont forget that even if the tablet is upside down the orientation sensor will flip the image.

Hello everyone. I am still trying to get the hang of doing videos so please be kind. I just did a video of the HTC One car kit. I love the HTC car kits and this one is as nice as the others I've had in the past. Actually, I like all the OEM car kits that are specifically made for a device. Normally this thing costs $60, but I had a 20% off coupon code from Lets Talk so I bought. I have now put it into my car and it is nice. If you like the automatic connection to Car Mode, it will do it immediately when the phone is slid in. There is a setting though that stops the Car Mode from launching. The one thing I noticed, after I did the video, the Car Mode isn't launched from sliding the phone into the holder, it actually initiates when the phone is connected to the connection pins.
Anyway, if you'd like to view the video, just click here
I hope you like it.
It would be nice if they designed it to work with cases... That's about the only drawback.

I agree. It can be a pain when it comes to removing it from a case. I love how compact it is.
